A hotel receptionist won £500K after she was encouraged to buy an Omaze ticket - by a guest who previously scooped a £2.5M home.
Lucky Hannah Symes, 31, picked up half-a-million in cash after she got 'the world's best tip' from Jo Booth.
Jo, winner of a £2.5million house in Yorkshire, came to stay at the hotel where Hannah worked.
When mum-of-five Hannah was checking Jo in she said she “casually asked what Jo had planned during her stay”.
It was then that Jo revealed that she was in Yorkshire as she’d just won an Omaze house.

00:00I still can't believe I've won half a million pounds.
00:04Pfft!
00:05LAUGHTER
00:09Funny enough, I never even heard of Omaze
00:12until the lovely Jo, who won one of your houses,
00:14came to stay at the hotel that I worked at.
00:17When I checked her in, I asked her what brought her here
00:20and she said that she won a two-and-a-half-million-pound Omaze house
00:24and that was when I asked her what Omaze was.
00:27It was the best question I ever asked!
00:30After she told me, I went and Googled Omaze
00:33and I signed up that same day.
00:36Within a couple of months, Omaze called me.
00:39That was when I was told I'd won half a million pounds.
00:42I was in that much shock
00:44that I literally didn't even know what the numbers were.
00:47My colleague had to write the numbers down on a bit of paper
00:50and just slide it in my mouth, so I was like,
00:53oh, my goodness!
00:55Oh, you've won a house!
00:57Congratulations!
01:00Cheers!
01:02I can't thank you enough for telling me.
01:04I've never, ever heard of it until I met you.
01:07I think everybody's rubbing up against me now,
01:09going, please pass on the luck.
01:11I can safely say you getting me to enter Omaze
01:14was the best tip I've ever had.
01:16I'm so glad I said it.
01:18The morning I found out, I was actually pricing up Legoland
01:21to take my son for his birthday.
01:23With it being so expensive, I didn't end up booking it.
01:26I was so disheartened.
01:28Now, we've already been to Legoland,
01:30and the next part is to buy our own land.
01:33We're looking forward to having more space,
01:35and we might be able to get some privacy
01:37for the first time in ten years.
01:39If it can happen to us, it can happen to you,
01:42so get entering. Cheers!
